Message from banan994599I'm looking for some ideas to make sure everyone is having fun at the company picnic this summer. I want to do more than play frisbee or whiffle ball this year. Hi,What about create your picnic with a "Carnival" twist, Include games that you might find in a carnival. Or a small scavenger hunt in which you can include groups (teams) instead of individuals, this way your guest will share and get to now each other better. Also bean bags sack races, go to Oriental Trading and for less money you will be able to decorate and get prizes for the teams. Fun in a budget, Have your picnic with a theme and base your activities on it.

They mainly do Kansas City but I think they'll travel as well.]]>Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:13:44 GMThttp://www.eventective.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5

Message from corporatemagician1Ask for website and most importantly see if they have videos on their site and see send info you find to all the event committe members.

Also, price and value are very different. You might get a similar price range from a quality entertainer (but typically they are much higher) consider those factors when looking at vendors. Hope this is helpful.Magically,Phil SmithAbracadabra Productions]]>Wed, 26 May 2010 14:32:59 GMThttp://www.eventective.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5

Message from greatestofdaysSecond, are you concerned about how your clients might feel if they see you having a celebration? Creating an event that will benefit a non-profit or charitable organization can make it appear to be more acceptable, but make sure that it looks like a sincere partnership without ulterior motives.]]>Sun, 09 May 2010 03:45:54 GMThttp://www.eventective.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5

Is this a year in which you want to be having a grand celebration or is it a year to have a great time but on a lower budget?

Message from jarde366325www.johnardenmusic.com Live music such as a dueling pianos show, an acoustic band, or sing along with one man band are all great options we can provide.

About eight to ten years ago a Graduate Student by the name of Christian Itin (now, I believe, a Professor at Humboldt State University in Redding, California) assembled a list of activities on what he called the Activity Page. The work started at the University of Denver and then migrated to Geocities. When Geocities was eliminated this work was archived. It took me a few days to find the URL to the archive, but I think some of the activities may be helpful to you.]]>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:50:36 GMThttp://www.eventective.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5

Message from DrRonShapiroGetting To Know Each Other

One purpose of a family company event (outside of having a great time at the event itself) is to encourage the attendees to get to know each other. A listing of a few very low budget "getting to know you type activities" which I have led at both corporate events such as bring your child to work day and community based events follows. All have been extremely well received.

Networking Bingo. Make a game card for every attendee by drawing lines dividing an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper into one inch squares. Fill each square with a descriptor for each attendee such as: in fifth grade, plays golf, likes to cook Italian food, won an award in 2009, starred in school play, worked all night yesterday. Make copies for each attendee. Give attendees a game card and marker as they arrive. Objective for each attendee is to fill the card by getting a person who matches the descriptor to sign a square or two on the card. Maximum two signatures per person per card. Also, need to get contact information (such as name legibly printed and an email address ...or parent's email address) printed on the back for each person signing. Everyone is a winner as small prizes are awarded to everyone filling their cards. Champions are the youngest 5 people to fill their cards (without parent help.)

That's My Mom/Dad. Bring group of four to five parents with their kids on stage. Blindfold all of the kids. Kids need to identify their parent based upon asking job related Yes/No questions of the parents. (Parents hold up a Yes/No sign and a moderator announces the answers.) Also, do a round in which the kids need to identify their parents based upon shaking hands.

That's My Son/Daughter. Similar to That's My Mom/Dad, except this time the parents attempt to identify their kids based upon school related events and/or handshakes.

Championship Networking. Bring the champion Networkers from Networking Bingo on stage. Blindfold them. Ask them to name and describe as many people as they can. Person naming and correctly describing the most people wins.
